The real life Command/Ctrl + F - Android App that uses the Mobile Vision API to allow you to search for any occurrence of a text using your camera

Hello! 👋

I'm a software engineer specialised in backend and Android development, passionate about building projects that will have a positive impact on people's lives.

I really enjoy datastructure and algorithms, distributed systems and identity.

ftwfy's Issues

Fix GraphicHelper's trim method

The goal of the method is to remove the leading spaces from the area to be drawn when more than one word is being searched.

When the user searches for a text occurrence of more than one word, for example: "for example" it matches and draws the rectangle in the whole line where it occur. It should only draw the rectangle around the "for example" occurrences.

There is already and implementation of this method, but the the weights used are incorrect.

Recognize handwritten text

I have no idea how to start developing it following the pattern that is implemented now.

Is it possible to modify Google's API to add trained models of handwritten text?

Alternative APK download?

Could you please attach the APK to the corresponding release(s) – for folks w/o Playstore? I'd even suggest to go for F-Droid, but according to the Manifest you're using GMS which is a show-stopper there. But if you could make the AKP available here, I could serve it via my repo, which then in turn can be used with the F-Droid client.
